What Is Lie?
A good golf club lie angle creates a larger sweetspot - the portion of the club face where you can hit the ball well - and therefore the iron or wood is more forgiving. Ergo: you can make more distance.
A tight lie makes many golfers feel just that - tight. When there's little grass under the ball, they feel the need to help it into the air, and "helping" creates tension.
Lie is the angle that the hosel of the iron makes with the rest of the iron head (an introductory article on golf club heads can be found HERE).

Lie: How your ball has finished after you hit it. If it is sitting up beautifully in the middle of the fairway, you have a good lie. If it is in the rough or half buried in a bunker, you have a bad lie. It also has another meaning.
